Subject: GE foods

Dear FDA, 
I am  an educated American citizen, and voter.
I am convinced genetically engineered foods are unsafe.  We have no long
(enough) term studies of the effects of introducing these foods into the
environment, our bodies, or the bodies of our offspring. (Yours too are at
risk, whether you are aware of it or not.)  To take the steps you have
currently taken is wrong.  I ask that all sales of GE foods be stopped.
Short of that, the current proposed labeling and testing standards are too
lax.  If I choose not to eat GE foods, I have the right to easily accessible
information so I can choose.
As an aside, my sister used to work for the FDA, and I am all too well aware
from talking with her of how economic and political forces conspire to
create unfair and unsound policies, like the proposed labeling standards and
minimum testing procedures. Your actions are irresponsible to the point of
criminal neglect.  
Thanks, 
John Huff
